$20K laptop features leather

[Johanna]

Got 20 grand to blow on a leather laptop? This one has the "Bentley" logo and that quilting you see on the cheap upholstery leather is supposedly "hand stitched". Ho hum. The laptop specs are mediocre (you can get a far nicer machine for >$500) but hey, it will match your car interior and shoes. And that's what it's all about, right? Who cares how it works when it looks so cool? Ugh. I'll pass on this one- I'd rather save for the Porsche.

Each is hand built, with authentic Bentley cross-over hand-stitching

Wow I am sooo impressed, anyone know how to do the "Bentley cross-over hand stitch"?

I think if I really tried hard I could make one for Rolls Royce with my special "Rolls Royce saddle stitch"

Let's see, come up with something absolutely rediculous, market it to extremely rich people, charge 40 times more than it's worth.......sounds like a great business model to me.

Who ever that "hand-stitched" those should be fired. The stitching sure looks uneven and ugly. Or did they mean someone hand guided the leather through the sewing machine... so it's hand stitched?

This was my first thought when I saw it, they probably mean that there was an actual person pulling the leather through.

They should be sewed for false marketing
